Connerton is a master-planned community considered west Florida's only "New Town" in that residents can enjoy shopping, dining and leisure activities within the community's self-sustaining environment—and without needing a car. Connerton covers 4,800 acres that will, when complete, offer more than 8,500 homes and more than three million square feet of commercial space for businesses of all sizes, including grocery stores, banks, offices and a community hospital. It is complete with a community center, an aquatic playground, tennis courts, an enrichment center (offering yoga, tai chi, art classes and more), several parks with gazebos and playgrounds, miles and miles of recreation trails and boardwalks, and its own 80-acre, regional park and wildlife preserve. Homes within Connerton begin at $200,000 and extend to $1 million.
